Arlaine Joy Marcelino
I am a Registered Guidance Counselor in the Philippines, currently based in Singapore, working in an international school as a mentor/counselor. Caring for the elderly has always been my passion. I studied Gerontology Program at University of Washington. After which, I started volunteering here in Singapore in a nursing home and different active ageing centres. I enjoy using my free time dealing with the older people. I wish to hone more my knowledge and skills on being an effective counselor/carer to the elderly. I also want to widen my network for me to be more involved in programs and activities aligned with my personal advocacy, which is care for the elderly.
